Accountant IV position, Salary Grade 14, to provide professional and technical level support to the
Oakland County Great Lakes Water Authority Board appointee. The position would be within the Oakland

2. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CHILDREN’S VILLAGE DIVISION – FY

The Michigan Department of Education has awarded Oakland County the Child and Adult Care Food
Program grant for the period of October 1, 2018, through September 30, 2019. The amount of the grant
is undetermined because funds are reimbursed to Oakland County based upon the number of meals and
snacks that are served to children residing at Mandy’s Place of Children’s Village. Last year the County
was reimbursed approximately $75,000. The program is provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
and the purpose of the program is to make nutritionally-balanced, low-cost meals and milk available
statewide to children in emergency shelters.
